Fanbelts pullys and waterpumps
Posted: Sun Jun 18, 2017 5:59 pm
My dynamo pully has failed today after what is only a few hundred miles from new. I understand not to overtighten it and although possible don't think it was too tight.
Looking at the pully the fan belt does not sit at the bottom meaning and load will create a lateral force is this normal or do I have the wrong pully
My second question for those who know , the water evaporated in the engine forcing its way out into the expansion chamber , I guess I drove about 2 miles with the broken pully , would this damage the water pump as I can hear a sqeek if I turn it by hand , it may have always squeeked but been covered by the engine noise
